What is the specific heat ratio, when γ = Cp/Cv and the degrees of freedom are 3 and 5?
Answer: 5/3
Explanation
Let’s assume two cases:
-
If f=3 (monatomic gas), then:
γ=3+2/3=5/3 -
If (diatomic gas), then:
γ=5+2/5=7/5
Since the question asks for γ when degrees of freedom are 3 and 5, and γ = Cp/Cv, then:
-
For f = 3 → γ = 5/3
